French house of creation
The House
Maison Delmon Paris is a French house of creation founded in 2023 by Brendo Delmon. In its atelier in France, it designs and makes one-of-a-kind handbags, conceived as wearable works of art.
Le Jardin, its first collection, composes an imaginary nature through colours, materials and ornaments. Flowers, fruit and birds shape the creations. The collection continues as the work unfolds.
Brendo Delmon
Founder and Creative Director
Brendo Delmon’s eye is drawn to the nuances of a colour, a reflection, a texture. A creation may begin with a drawing or with a material; its composition takes shape as the work progresses. Techniques are chosen according to what the piece calls for.
His medical background taught him to listen and to consider the person as a whole. That attention remains in private commissions, where the client’s story and intention nourish his interpretation.
A letter from Brendo Delmon
To create
For me, creating is a natural state.
There is something almost meditative in that moment. Thought grows quieter, emotion passes into the hand. The work moves forward with ease. It is a way of anchoring myself in life.
My eye is drawn to light and colour. A stone, a reflection, a texture can hold it at once. Some things move me before I know how to name them. They make me want to take up a form, to interpret it, to give it another presence.
Le Jardin was born of that gaze. One green, a thousand greens: nature offers shades that never seem to run out. I find there the freedom I seek in creating. Flowers, fruit and birds open up possibilities of colour, texture and form. Their beauty does not always need an explanation.
Le Jardin de Pierres was born of woven wicker, then painted. Crystals, beads, cabochons and lacquer found their place in the continuity of its colours. The composition grew naturally. Its profusion comes from these encounters between materials and techniques.
I feel a piece is right when the whole finds a harmony that calms me. That balance does not necessarily lie in symmetry. It lies in its bearing, in the way colours, reliefs and forms compose something singular.
For me, the handbag is a space of free creation. Painting can take on volume there and meet embroidery, feathers or metal. In a private commission, that space also welcomes a story: that of the person who entrusts me with an intention.
My medical background taught me to listen and to consider the person as a whole. Function, aesthetics and balance had their place there, within a deeply human relationship. That attention remains in my work. Dialogue with the client nourishes the interpretation; their story meets my sensibility.
This is where the unique piece takes on its full meaning for me. An object conceived for someone can accompany their life, carry meaning and, perhaps, be handed down with the memories attached to it. I call these creations wearable works of art: their presence also lies in what they mean to the person who chooses them.
I founded Maison Delmon to give this freedom a place. A world where imagination meets reality, where materials open up possibilities, where each creation can carry the search further.
Le Jardin continues to evolve, with its stories and its seasons. I continue to create within it.

The first creation
Le Jardin
Le Jardin brings together one-of-a-kind handbags and remains open to new creations. An inaugural piece — art basketry and painting on material — sets the House's voice.

In service
of creation.
Materials and techniques give form to intention. These crafts are at the House's disposal; they are assembled according to the piece and its purpose, never mechanically.
Embroidery, ornament & appliqué
Light, stitch by stitch
Silk threads, sequins and beads compose the surface. Each stitch is chosen for its lustre, its direction, its grain.
Painting on material
The inhabited stroke
The brush approaches the material like a breath. Each stroke is intention, each touch is held.
Setting, enamelling & arts of fire
Restrained brilliance
Enamels and lacquered finishes work with light; stones and crystals are integrated with restraint — brilliance, contrast, tension.
Featherwork
The art of the placed breath
Feathers meticulously chosen, juxtaposed like chords of light. The feather weighs nothing and carries everything.
Fine leatherwork
The right volume, the time it takes
Full-grain calf leather, cutting, assembly and finishing serving a volume designed to endure.
The atelier
The patient gesture
The atelier is where these crafts meet, tune themselves, and await the piece that will call upon them.
